[quote=Anonymous]I'm a mother of older kids. But I remember those difficult days all too well. All five of our children went through phases of not wanting to go to sleep at about that same age. Here's my view, for what it's worth - That feeling you get when you hear your child scream is telling you something. You want to go and comfort him because it's instinctual. Moms naturally want to pick up a crying baby. Don't fight that. If he is screaming, go comfort him. He is still completely dependent on you. I remember sleeping on the floor next to the crib many times because I wasn't willing to let my baby scream but I also didn't want to take him to bed with me every night. If he is going to cry, at least make sure he knows that you are near. It seems so cruel to me to leave a screaming baby in a dark room all alone. [/quote]
